Glens Falla, Sept. 25.—The village Board of Glens Falls has passed resalu- tions permitting bicyolists to ride upon the sidewalks in certain sections of the village. The rider desiring such privi- lege must pay @ fee of $1, and obtain a license. Consderable opposition to the resolu- tion has arisen. Many objeot to the pay- ment of the tax, on the ground shat the law demanding it, is unconstitutional. They contend that the bicycle ig not sub- ject to taxation, and that the village Board cannot rent the village sidewalks under any circumstances. Ee QIVIL SERVICE FOR POSTMASTERS.

Washington, Sept. 24.—Both the Post Office Department and the Civil Service Commission are taking interest in the movement towards puttng the fourth- elass postmasters under the protection of civil service laws. While nothing is likely to be done at present, it is probable that before the end of this administration the looked for action will be taken. Se DR. JOHNSON NAMED FOR SENATOR.

CoL Gleason is looking forward. He bas a good heart. Samuel Jones is the coming young man of South Washington. He is one of the supporters of Mr. R. H. Key. He is a good talker and very sensible.

JOURNAL What is generally conceded in Phil- adelphia to be one of the most desir- able building sites inthe city has just been purchased by The Ladies’ Home Journal. The property is located at Sixth and Walnut streets, which means that it fronts on two of the most beau- tiful squares in Philadelphia, the fa- mous Independence Square on the east and Washington Square on the south. The land acquired includes five prop- erties. On May Ist. next, the houses thereon will be torn dowu to make room for a building costing $250,000 to be solely owned and exclusively occupied hy the Journal. The building will re- quirs two years in its construction. THE COLOR LID The Columbia Law School has con- nected with it a branch which no other school has—a branch for patent law.

There is one thing the BEE has al- ways maintained, and the enemies of the public printer must give him credit for it, and that is he runs his office on a business basis. The BEE would like to see Mr. Benedict appoint a colored fereman of one of the divisions of printing, as he has already appointed a colored man foreman of the map de- partment im which white men and wo- mren ‘are employed.
